Worth The Effort, But Still Often Very Formulaic

Rating: 6/10 (25 July 2014)

So much has been written, said and uttered about this mammoth production of a blockbuster. Pacific Rim seems to be a very promising try, as it starts where Godzilla or even Independence Day have stopped. With better funds, greater video effects, bigger sound, decent actors, huge soundtrack, excellent funny parts of two zany professors, this movie could have achieved a real great point. In some ways, it did. In many, it failed. With all the efforts, there are still may open questions dangling in the air. I will not ask them to create Spoilers, so still, some plot holes remain. The formulaic performance of several actors add to a weaker impression, and rather predictable twists of plot make it duller thing to peruse. There is much of a clichéd pathetic speaking, much of predictable development, and still, some questions were never answered. One can watch this movie once, just to get to know this one, but then luckily forget and never come back to this at all.
